Question

What type of Cellular Transport is being described below: A cell requires a specific nutrient, such as potassium, that needs additional assistance in the cellular transport process due to being larger than other particles. The potassium moves through a protein channel AGAINST the concentration gradient. A. This is facilitated diffusion and uses ADP to move particles in and out evenly B. This is simple diffusion moving particles from high to low concentration C. This is active transport using ATP to move particles from low to high concentration D. This is exocytosis where ATP is used to release large particles from the cell

Answer 1

Active transport using ATP to move particles from low to high concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of cellular transport being described is active transport using ATP to move particles from low to high concentration.

In active transport, substances are moved against their concentration gradient, which requires energy. The example given of the sodium-potassium pump shows how cells use active transport to pump sodium out of cells and potassium into cells.
